Why Choose the ILME CQEM46 Male Insert?
The ILME CQEM46 is a high-density 46-pole plus protective earth male connector insert designed for heavy-duty industrial electrical connections. Part of the ILME CQE series, it combines a 16 A, 500 V rating with crimp termination in the standard size 104.27 format.
The CQEM46 uses separately ordered crimp contacts, allowing the appropriate contact size and finish to be selected for the application. Compatible ILME 16 A male crimp contacts are available in several conductor sizes and finishes, making the insert suitable for densely populated power, control and signal interfaces in industrial machinery and automation equipment.
Rated according to EN 61984 at 16 A and 500 V, with a 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and pollution degree 3, the CQEM46 provides dependable performance in demanding installations. Its polycarbonate insulating body, minimum 500 mating cycles and operating temperature range from -40 °C to +125 °C support reliable long-term industrial use.

Reliable High-Density Connections for Industrial Equipment
Industrial machinery and automation systems often require numerous detachable electrical circuits while available connector space remains limited. The ILME CQEM46 provides 46 male contact positions plus protective earth within a single size 104.27 insert, allowing a substantial number of power, control or signal conductors to be organised through one heavy-duty connector assembly.
The separate crimp-contact system allows contacts to be selected to suit the conductor and application before being securely crimped and installed into the insert. When paired with the corresponding female CQE insert and installed in a compatible ILME size 104.27 enclosure, the CQEM46 forms a durable multipole connection suitable for machinery installation, commissioning and maintenance.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and production equipment.
- Factory automation and control systems.
- High-density electrical control connections.
- Control panels and electrical cabinets.
- Machine power, control and signal interfaces.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
